What does it mean that God respects the lowly?

Answered in 1 source

God's respect for the lowly reflects His grace toward those who recognize their need for Him.

In Psalm 138, it is said that while the Lord is high, He has respect for the lowly. This indicates that God actively looks upon those who are humble and contrite in heart, acknowledging their dependence on Him. This principle is consistent throughout Scripture; God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). The lowly are those aware of their spiritual poverty, who approach God not with claims of righteousness but begging for mercy, which He delights to extend.
